Nautical Theme Key Holder - $5

FOCL
Ahoy!
I was your ad on Criagslist for the Nautical theme key holder http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/mss/hsh/1076107000.html. I am in the market for a new key holder and this looks like it could be the one. I especially like how wonderfully nautical it is. I assume you have been storing boat keys in it (what else would you put in it? It is SO nautical). Anyway just wondering if you could send me a few pics of it with some boat keys in it so I can get a feel for how it works.

Thanks.

Response
Would you like to pick up the item this evening?

FOCL
Would you like to send me a photo of it with some boat keys in it?

Response
As mentioned I no longer have a boat therefore no keys.

FOCL
Actually, I don't think I would recognize boat keys anyway. So just use any keys and I will "assume" that they are boat keys WINK !

PS: DO NOT use bicycle lock keys, I know what those look like.

Response
Sorry I do not have any keys.

FOCL
NO KEYS???
I guess that explains why you are selling the key holder.Do you know anyone that has keys you could borrow for a few minutes?

Do you live in futuristic house in which everything is voice activated including the locks and car? If so, are you worried that your exact-voice-double is walking through the streets yelling "Unlock front door!" and "Start car!", and that one day he/she will walk by your house and you will lose all of the futuristic beeping items that you have worked so hard to acquire?

Sorry to make you worry but I think that these are things you should consider.Anyway let me know about the photo with borrowed keys -- hopefully of the boat variety :)

Response
Friends do not have keys either, we are all minimalists

Do you want it or not?

FOCL
While I do not doubt that you and your friends do not have keys, I don't think that I would call a group of people with voice activated cars and front doors "minimalists".

OK, how about just a reasonable drawing of a boat key taped to it?
Then I will buy it FOR SURE!!

Cancun trip for 2 adults 2 children 5 nights 6 days

Hi

I saw your ad on Craigslist for the Cancun trip for 2 adults 2 children 5 nights 6 days http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/for/1061004499.html . It sounds like a really good deal but I was wondering if I could meet the kids first to make sure they are not little brats. I have hung out with kids before and they really aren't very fun usually.

Anyway, let me know.

Pet stroller (new condition)

Hi there,

I saw your ad on Craig's List for the pet stroller http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/bra/for/1062259952.html . I am very interested in putting my dog in a stroller because sometimes when I am out walking him I pass people who don't think that I am a lunatic.

Could you please send me a picture?

Cheers,

Response (we're not making this up)

Hello,

I can get you a pic in a day or two if you can hang in there.

Best regards,

Pooper Catcher 5.0 -- Tutorial

Pooper Catcher 5.0 -- Tutorial

Hello,

I saw your advertisement for the Poop Catcher 5.0 on Craig's List. I then went to your website and saw the description of your product and the tutorial for its use http://www.poopercatcher.com/index.cfm?id=5480&fuseaction=browse&pageid=38 . It is clear that this idea was stolen from me. All you have done is taken an idea which I already had, and added a stick to it. I have included a photo from your tutorial and also a photo from the same step in the tutorial on my website. Please cease and desist immediately so I do not need to contact my legal team.

Thank you.

Kidney

Kidney

Hi,

I saw your ad on craig's list which read "Healthy male 37 y.o. able to help a person with need of a healty kidney for help in exchange." http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/for/1047363280.html .

I was just wondering what type of help you will require in exchange. I can offer help moving, for example if whatever you need to move will fit in my Prius?
